DALLAS – Hawaiian Airlines (HA) today began welcoming Hawai‘i residents to Huaka‘i by Hawaiian, a free program that offers kama‘āina guests quarterly benefits when flying with Hawai‘i’s hometown carrier.

Members will get a free checked bag on Neighbor Island trips, which can include surfboards, golf bags, and other sports gear. They will also get 10 or 20% off one Neighbor Island booking every three months, as well as deals across the whole network every month. HA will email its members their first Neighbor Island discount code every three months on December 18.

This code is good for travel starting January 8 and going forward. It is a 10% discount for all members and a 20% discount for Hawaiian Airlines® World Elite Mastercard® cardmembers. From March 1, 2019, discount codes will be given every first day of the month before the start of a new quarter. These codes can be used on one-way or round-trip tickets in Coach and First Class.

In addition, starting on January 8, Neighbor Island flights will let HA customers bring one free checked bag, which can hold surfboards, a golf bag, and other sports gear. People who use their Hawaiian Airlines® World Elite Mastercard® to book a trip will still get two free checked bags.

Comments from Hawaiian Airlines CEO

“Huaka‘i by Hawaiian is our special way to mahalo Hawai‘i residents for their support of our airline, and to further acknowledge our vital role in bringing our island communities together for now 95 years,” said Hawaiian Airlines CEO Joe Sprague.

“Kama‘āina who already enjoy our superior service and convenient schedule of some 150 daily Neighbor Island flights will find it even easier to travel between the islands to visit family and friends, do business, or take a staycation.”
